@copilot suggestWorkflowNames should handle trimming the .md extension

Done in 32649ca. The suggestWorkflowNames helper now normalizes the target by stripping .md extension and extracting basename, so callers no longer need to do this themselves.

@copilot always normalize target to name, from potentially a filename

Done in 32649ca. The function now uses filepath.Base() to extract the name from paths and strings.TrimSuffix() to remove .md extension, handling both filenames and paths correctly.
The helper now handles stripping .md extension and extracting basename, so callers don't need to normalize the input themselves. Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>

Document three user-facing features from December 6-7: 1. gh aw init now creates .github/aw/logs/.gitignore (#5712) - Prevents workflow logs from being committed 2. Fuzzy workflow name matching (#5710) - Added Smart Features section with examples - Documents typo suggestions across all commands - Explains Levenshtein distance matching algorithm 3. Auto-detection of safe-inputs in mcp inspect (#5709) - Clarified that safe-inputs are automatically detected - Removed reference to deprecated --safe-inputs flag - Documents imported safe-inputs support 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR adds fuzzy matching suggestions for workflow names across all commands that take workflow names as input. When a workflow is not found, the CLI now suggests up to 3 similar workflow names using Levenshtein distance (max distance of 3).
Commands updated:
